Sweet little babies

I had to share this today, I just found them. I knew the stray cat that won't let me get within 20 feet of her was pregnant and I knew it was getting close. If I could get ahold of her, she'd be fixed... but she is ferocious! She was stuck in Daryl's wood shop one day and we tried to carry her out... big mistake. She tore both of us up.

Looks unsuspecting doesn't it?

Look a little closer...

How about now?

How sweet is this? Their eyes are still closed. They are only a day or two old, maybe three but I doubt it.

D found them, and we're keeping them from Asher so they'll have a chance! haha He would want to hold them and play with them. Considering what he does to frogs (he tries to help them swim and takes them down the slide with him), they better stay out of his sight for a while. I am such a sucker for baby animals, I don't know what we are going to do. Hopefully they won't be wild, like Mamma.

SO Adorable! We use a live animal trap for our stray cats. It's a difficult situation with three little ones to consider. Guess all you can do is feed mama so she will have enough milk for them. If you start petting them after their eyes are open, maybe mama won't move them and will become more tame. We sometimes put out a box with blankets and that helps. This is how we enticed our Tabby into domesticity and she delivered her one little kitten on our patio in the box. We "tamed" Tabby, found her precious kitten a good home and now (14 years later) Tabby is still with us and spoiled rotten! I think it was Leonardo da Vinci that said a kitten is a work of art! So true! So precious!

Oh how precious! Follow Janette's advice, I think... and perhaps Mama Cat will come around and let herself be tamed a bit. Good luck with the situation; hopefully you can "help" with the kittens and then find them a good home!

I love it that you are wanting to comment but please know that I have moved my current blog (this is the old host). You can now find me at www.jaimehaney.com/blog and leave a comment there.

A lil' bit 'bout me

I find inspiration in every thing I see, hear, touch, feel, taste and even smell. I find beauty in the most ordinary things. I live in my own little Shangri-La that I have created with tons of plants and flowers each year planted with love, blood, sweat and some tears. I re-create beauty with my art and even a little darkness. I mostly paint but also illustrate, create digital works, design and photograph everything I possibly can. My art is for sale through my website [www.jaimehaney.com].
